Rear leaf spring clamps...

I would like to know if anyone has replaced those rear leaf spring clamps that keep the springs together? Mine were shot and I'm having a hard time finding how to replace them. Can you use clamps from other makes or models?

Thanks all

Spring shops have all that stuff. Not sure where else a guy can get it.

The ones on my trucks are intact but keep moving around. I wonder if you could put a tiny tack weld on it to keep it still?

I think stock they had some rubber insulation. After a few years the rubber crumbles and leaves.
Somebody correct me if I slipped.

There were different types of these clamps. some had a cushiony material squeezed in to keep them from moving, some had a rivet, and some had a dimple. I don't think a spot weld would be a good way to do this.
